MINE TEST ACT
Inspectors in Effort To Cut Fatalities.
WASHINGTON, March 14 (U. P.) —The House yesterday passed and sent to the Senate a bill proFederal inspection of
mine fatalities. The measure was passed without a record vote, and with only minor
amendments, after two hours of debate. It was sponsored by Rep. J. Harold Flannery (D. Pa.). It authorizes the Secretary of Interior, through the Federal Bureau of Mines, to make inspections and publicize reports regarding safety precautions taken in the mines. The House Mines and Mining Committee estimated that 1420 persons were killed in mine disasters last year, Rep. Flannery said the bill was not a regulatory measure, and did not arm the Secretary of Interior with powers to compel mine operators to change their methods, under penalties for refusing to do s0. Neither, Mr. Flannery said, | would the bill supersede or conflict with state laws. “This is a fair bill and it meets

Mrs. Mildred Callin, 27, and Miss Mathilda Schultz, 24, were in the washroom of the investment building when they heard a knock on the door.

Then he realized where he was and blushed furiously as he sheepishly backed out the door. “Aw, forget it,” he mumbled as he fled.

tinue to receive motors, propellors and other replacement materials required to maintain their service at present levels. Referring to the controversy over charges that the military aircraft program would lower the efficiency of commercial lines, Mr. Knudsen said that while the lines cannot plan to expand their facilities they can at least acquire replacements. “It is obvious, of course,” Mr. Knudsen said, “that the military airplane program is of paramount importance in the national defense effort. But it is a matter of fundamental policy, determined when civilian aircraft priorities were established, that the airlines shall continue to receive delivery of the motors, propellors, instruments, spare parts and material necessary of maintenance and overhauling operations. “As for airplanes, during the year 1940, the domestic airlines acquired new planes in a number sufficient to provide for obsolescence, replacements and regular scheduled operations. At the present time the airlines are at the highest state of efficiency with the greatest carrying capacity in the history of air transportation in this country.

come easily to him. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t play cards, doesn’t go hunting and fishing, and a man who can’t even talk about those things is likely to strike politicians as @ queer fish, and a bit of a highbrow besides.
A Sincere Realist Is the Vice President; Concentrates Deeply on What Interests Him
On top of this, Mr. Wallace has a way of concentrating sharply on whatever topic happens to strike his interest the most. It often happens that a caller will start him on one chain of thought and will switch to another with= out taking Mr. Wallace along with him—and will realize, several minutes later, that the Vice President just hasn't been listening,
Such traits will make it hard for him in his job, in which intimate conversations with a great number of intensely practical politicians will play an im=portant part. But Mr. Wallace is no political innocent—after all, he dealt with Congress pretty successfully during his eight years as Secretary of Agriculture—and he does like people. When he first came to Washington he disliked official functions. Then he discovered that the endless round of banquets, dinner parties and “at homes” are very important to a Cabinet minister. Learning this, his intel= | lectual curiosity made him want | to find out the how and why of that importance. Since then he has been about as deep in the social round as any member of the Cabinet. This still hasn't developed his ability to make small talk. They tell of one dinner party at which his hostess saw him sitting in silence all through the evening, and despaired that anyone present could make him talk. Finally, though, she saw him in animated conversation with some young sprig. Eager to know what sub= | ject had at last stirred his inter= | est, she sidled over—to find Mr, ' Wallace and the young sprig deep in a chat about Iowa hogs.
